The Student Prince in Old Heidelberg

As I’m going to say tonight when I introduce this thing, this isn’t about nostalgia — seeking the past in the present. It’s about the opposite, finding the present in the past. Finding eternal human values and enduring emotions.

“The Student Prince In Old Heidelberg” — despite this hoary-looking production still — is vibrant and wonderful, and if you make a point of seeing it, especially under the circumstances in which you can see it tonight, you will treasure the memory forever. At the Silent Film Festival.
